Big Island Hiking Adventure

Welcome to Big Island Hikes! This is the web's #1 source for hiking on the Big Island of Hawai'i. This site is dedicated to human-powered recreation on public lands. We aren't guides and this isn't a guiding service. Big Island Hikes is intended to encourage people to visit and recreate upon public lands. It's an information resource for hiking and adventure travel on the Big Island of Hawai'i with a focus on free, wild, untamed, and authentic wilderness experiences. There is nothing exclusive here. All trailheads on this site can be accessed with a passenger car, and almost all of the hikes are completely free.
